Novellas can be tough. There's a lot that needs to happen in a shorter amount of time (or literally in pages) and it still needs to feel real, and to engage the reader.
Stephen and Skye meet when he is staying in the property she is in charge of upkeep for...and, he is there earlier than expected, so he is a bit of a surprise to her, and their meeting is one that neither was at their best for.
Lots happens to them, and there is a lot to work through. Her ex and his family wanting them to be together, the things he is dealing with regarding his father, and a bit of a surprise that ends up changing everything for them.
I struggled a little with this one. I think there was too much going on for me to fully feel that I was engaged in the relationship. And, once I was finally really feeling connected, something else was added into the relationship.
For a novella to really work for me, I need to be able to feel fully invested in the characters even though it is a shorter story. I never quite got to this point...although, that said, I did still enjoy this title and I recommend it.
